Alabama football’s wide receiver, Ryan Williams recently discussed why he is excited to play under Grubb during an interview with Jon Gruden.

“It makes you learn the game because it’s more pro-style, just us breaking from the huddle and you have to fully understand the entire play,” Williams said. “You can’t just be like ‘okay, this only applies to me.’ In order to truly understand the play, you got to understand every part of it.”

Grubb is tasked with designing an explosive offensive attack with Williams and other weapons at his disposal.
